Congratulations on your purchase of this product. Please read the instructions carefully before using the thermometer for the first time, and keep these in a safe place. This product is intended for the measurement of human body temperature. this product is for home and hospital use, the operator shall be at least 11 years old and the patient can be the operator.

Operating Instructions

Before using, please disinfect the probe at first. To switch on, press the ON/OFF button next to the display; a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is operational. At the same time, the thermometer runs a self-check test, during which all the digital segments appear on the LCD. When the letters “L” and an ashing “°C” or “°F” display, the thermometer is now ready for use. If the ambient temperature is below 32°C or 89.6°F, then “L°C” or “L°F” will appear on the LCD and if it is more than 42°C or 107.6°F, then “H°C” or “H°F” will appear on the LCD. During the reading, the current temperature is displayed continuously, and the “°C” or “°F” symbol flashes. The measurement is completed when a constant temperature value has been reached. The temperature value is considered constant when the temperature rises less than 0.1°C within 4 seconds. As soon as the constant temperature value is reached, a beep will sound 12 times, and the “°C” or “°F” symbol will stop flashing. The highest temperature measured appears on the LCD. However, please note that this thermometer is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed temperature can increase slightly if measurement continues after the beep, this is particularly the case with axillary measurements, the temperature value should be recorded which approximates the core body temperature. In this instance please note the description under “Methods of measuring temperature”. When the measurement is completed, please switch the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After the temperature has been displayed, the thermometer will shut off automatically after 4 minutes and a beep sound.

Memory function

Switch the thermometer on, a short beep will sound. At the same time, the thermometer runs a self-check test,  during which all the digital segments appear on the LCD. After that, The last reading value with “°C” or “°F” will appear automatically on the LCD for about 2 seconds. The reading is only over-written when a new temperature value is recorded.

Methods of measuring temperature

It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends on the site where it is measured. For this reason, the measurement site must always be specified in order to ensure that a correct temperature reading is recorded.
In the rectum(rectal)
This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view because it comes closest to the core body temperature. Lubricating the thermometer tip with ungluing agents before use. Do not use vaseline. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum for a maximum of 13 mm. The usual measuring time is approximately 10 seconds.
Under the arm(axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5°C to 1.5°C from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for this method is approximately 23 to 29 seconds. It should be noted that an exact reading won’t be obtained if, for example, the armpit temperature is lower than normal (the armpit temperature has been cooled down). If in this case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body temperature.
In the mouth(oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3°C to 0.8°C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that the reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring time is approximately 25 seconds.
Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature, and advise you to extend the measuring time by 1 Minute after the beep.

How to change the measuring unit

Under the power-off state, press the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds, the display will show “b” and the unit in use. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the unit, Then the thermometer will be operational after 3 seconds

Cleaning and disinfection

The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% medical alcohol) with a damp cloth. It shall be disinfected before each use. The Waterproof thermometers can be immersed in liquid or lukewarm water for thorough cleaning and disinfection.

Safety precautions

• The incorrect methods of measuring temperature may lead to inaccurate measurement results.
• Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor impact-resistant.
• Do not modify this device without the authorization of the manufacturer.
• Do not bend or open the device (except the battery compartment).
• Do not clean with thinners, petrol, or benzene. Only clean with water or disinfectant.
• Do not immerse the Waterproof thermometers underwater 15cm for longer than 30 minutes.
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands of children
• Avoid bending the thermometer tip by more than45 degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is over 35°C or 95°F, dip the thermometer tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
• Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a doctor, please get in touch with your doctor!
• Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from any radio systems and mobile phones.
